Before
|
10x1 =
10 u |
4x3 =
12 u |
Change
|
- 7x1 =
- 7 u |
- 3x3 =
- 9 u |
After
|
3x1 =
3 u |
1x3 =
3 u |
Comparing wafers and
tarts in the end |
1x3 =
3 u |
1x3 =
3 u |
0.7 =
710 0.75 =
75100 =
34 The number of wafers and tarts is the same in the end. Make the number of wafers and tarts in the end the same. LCM of 3 and 1 and 1 is 3.
Total number of wafers and tarts at first
= 10 u + 12 u
= 22 u
22 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 22 = 2
Number of tarts that Hilda had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 2
= 6
Answer(s): 6
